Are some infinities bigger than others? What can I do with a deck of cards that has never happened before in the history of the universe? all this and a bellyful of laughs in his first Tasmanian maths show ever.

Venue
Hobart City Hall
The home of Beaker Street’s Main Stage and ground-zero of the Festival Epicentre. This stunning heritage building will be transformed into a suave science saloon, with cabaret style seating, live music, and a jam-packed program of events. From Friday night, right through to early Sunday morning, the City Hall Main Stage will be buzzing with all things science. Then, at 10pm, the madness descends and the space transforms into the biggest, baddest, burlesquey bar in Hobart.
Accessibility
Hobart City Hall has level access and is wheelchair accessible, and we’re going all-out to optimise the acoustics and comfort levels. For particular accessibility concerns, please contact [email protected]
Eat and drink
We’ll have a bar on site serving up tasty Tassie alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and dishing out delicious bar snacks.
A Seat at the Table
Beaker Street Festival’s pay-it-forward initiative, A Seat at the Table, helps make our science and art offerings accessible to those who can’t afford to purchase a ticket. When you buy a ticket you have the option to donate towards the cost of a stranger’s ticket. You won’t know who you’ve helped, but your donation will go directly towards allowing someone else to access this great event. All donations $2 and over are tax-deductible.
If you’d like to request one or two free tickets, please let us know. If we can offer you a seat, we’ll notify you by email.
